Jake Combs testified that the victim told him, “You’re not leaving here with that dog alive.”
A man who said he fatally shot a drinking buddy to protect his dog was sentenced to 100 years to life in prison.
Earley’s family members and other loved ones, who filled every seat in the courtroom with many also watching proceedings over Zoom, spoke at length about their loss. When it came time for Combs to address the court, nearly everyone in the room walked out and waited in the hall until he finished speaking.
Combs and Earley were among four men who had been drinking together on the evening of Jan. 6, 2022, at a Garberville bar and then at the home of one of them in Alderpoint, a small community on the Eel River. Combs then fled the scene in his SUV with his dog and the friend who had been talking with Earley at the time of the shooting. That friend later told police he got in the vehicle because he was afraid of “what Mr. Combs might to do to him,” an investigator testified.
